Spotlight on the Stoughton Chamber Singers

Its concert week!  All this week we'll be spotlighting different aspects of the concert that you will enjoy on Saturday.  Don't forget to purchase your tickets by clicking the Brown Paper Ticket link on the left.

Its good to have musical friends, so on that note (pun intended) the WCC is pleased to introduce you to our friends, the Stoughton Chamber Singers from Stoughton, WI, who will be performing with us on Saturday.

For the past four years, The Stoughton Chamber Singers, have enlivened the community's cultural scene with performances of music from the Twelfth to the Twentieth Century in a number of sites in and around Stoughton. John Beutel, former choral director at the Stoughton High School, has directed the group since its inception.

The Chamber Singers' first concert was June 24, 2007, in Cooksville, Wisconsin, at a historic wood-frame church. Since that first concert, the Singers have prepared two programs each year, in the late spring and during the Christmas season, performing at Cooksville, the Stoughton Opera House, the Stoughton Victorian Ball, and Vincenzo's Wine and Coffee Bar.

The group has varied in size from 16 to 21 members, many of whom have performed in other community choirs and with the Stoughton Village Players theater group.  A number of the Singers also play instruments, including accordion, piano, banjo, mandolin, guitar, flute, percussion and recorders.

During the Christmas season, the Singers perform in full Renaissance costume. Included here are photographs of some of the singers taken before the December 2010 performance titled “There Will Always Be an England.”




On May 22, 2011, the Stoughton Chamber Singers will present their spring concert of American music at the Stoughton Opera House

The WCC is grateful to the Stoughton Chamber Singers for singing with us, and we're looking forward to an excellent concert Saturday!
